Jughead (2015) #4 by Chip Zdarsky & Erica Henderson | Rating: ★★★★★   Archie Comics does it again! I mean listen, I am probably slightly biased on the matter--I would definitely call Archie my ride or die comics--but the recently rebooted Jughead stories just keep getting better. In #4 we are continuing the trail of mystery (is the new staff at Riverdale up to...

If I Could Tell You by Elizabeth Wilhide | Rating: ★★★☆☆ As a note, a printed galley of this novel was sent to me by the publisher in exchange for an honest review. This does not effect my opinions in any way. Elizabeth Wilhide's novel If I Could Tell You is full of hits and misses for me and while I did enjoy...

Jughead Jones and Food is the ONLY OTP (Review: Jughead #3 by Chip Zdarsky & Erica Henderson)

11:54 AM
Jughead (2015) #3 by Chip Zdarsky & Erica Henderson | Rating: ★★★★★  SO. So. You guys know how I said that Issue #2 was my new favourite in this reboot of Jughead? I lied. I mean... in my defense, it's entirely because I didn't expect them to go all The Man From U.N.C.L.E on my ass. But here we are. The third installment...

The Hope Chest by Viola Shipman | Rating: ★★★☆☆ (3.5) As a note, a printed galley of this novel was sent to me by the publisher in exchange for an honest review. This does not effect my opinions in any way. Before The Hope Chest, I'd never heard of Viola Shipman and frankly I'm surprised by this. I thought the entirety of this...

Jughead (2015) #2 by Chip Zdarsky & Erica Henderson | Rating: ★★★★★  Jughead Jones is back and better than ever! In Jughead #2, everyone's favourite is in for some serious trouble--detention! Gasp! Howl! The horror! In my humble opinion, Jughead #2 is even better than the first installment of the newly rebooted Riverdale favourite and as usual is totally giggle worthy. Can I...

The Original Ginny Moon by Benjamin Ludwig | Rating: ★★★☆☆ (3.5) As a note, a printed galley of this novel was sent to me by the publisher in exchange for an honest review. This does not effect my opinions in any way. Ginny Moon is a highly intriguing novel that hit a lot of high and low notes. I don't want my rating...

The Princess Saves Herself in this One by Amanda Lovelace | Rating: ★★★★★ Original review here. Slightly revised from its original form in honor of the newly published version, now featuring more new poems. This is pretty much the same review only it tackles a bit more without spoiling the new works published. A copy of this novel was provided through NetGalley by...

Blind Attraction by Eden Summers | Rating: ★★☆☆☆ “I've watched a never-ending line of relationships crumple around me, with each sordid detail publicized to the world. I couldn't stand to hurt you that way.” Eden Summers' Blind Attraction is just the latest in a string of romance novels I've been trying on for size. It follows a relatively normal and familiar formula: good,...

Ms. Manwhore by Katy Evans | Rating: ★★★☆☆ Because I love him.Because when I look into his eyes, nothing else exists but him. Because even when I don’t look into his eyes, nothing else exists but him. From hot and heavy to sweet and heartfelt, Katy Evans has a way of getting her readers invested in her stories. Manwhore was good and surprised...

Right On, Riverdale! Jughead (2015) #1

3:07 PM
Jughead (2015) #1 by Chip Zdarsky & Erica Henderson | Rating: ★★★★★   Jughead Jones has always been one of my favourite fictional men (er, boys) so it's going to come as no surprise that I loved the first issue of the newly rebooted Jughead comics. There's something undeniably retro and modern about this particular portrayal of Jughead and I absolutely appreciate that. He's...

Manwhore +1 by Katy Evans | Rating: ★★★★★  Be safe with me. Reckless with me. Be who you are with me. Much like with its predecessor, I found my expectations surprisingly shattered in the best possible way with Katy Evans lovestory. Manwhore +1 is entirely as fun and steamy as Manwhore and this time, there's a lot more romance and resolution to be...

Wrecked by Maria Padian | Rating:  ★★★★☆ (4.5) As a note, a printed galley of this novel was sent to me by the publisher in exchange for an honest review. This does not effect my opinions in any way. Let's start right off the bat with the topic at hand the trigger warning that is laying in the central plot. Wrecked tackles the...

Betting on Bailey by Tara Crescent | Rating: ★★★☆☆ As if knowing someone is a prerequisite to good sex. Betting on Bailey is another one of those on a whim purchases I've made lately. Until this novel, I'd never heard of Tara Crescent but can't understand why. Her writing is the type that pulls you in and just might set you on fire...

Manwhore by Katy Evans | Rating: ★★★★★  A challenge is something you stop wanting once you acquire it. I can’t know if you’re a challenge yet until I make you mine.  I went into Manwhore fully intending to hate it. This was a novel I picked up on a whim to cure a massive book hangover I'd been having for a few weeks....

Instagram Roundup: January 2017

2:44 PM
I have to be honest: I went TOTALLY OVERBOARD with my Instagram in January. It's actually bonkers how much I posted. Which is why I'm keeping this introduction short. If you don't follow me on Instagram already, you can find me here. *I only post square images to make the format even when I posted my roundups. ...
